I have been prescribed aspirin after 12 weeks because I have an autoimmune disorder (Graves' disease which can cause overactive thyroid) although I am not on any medication or suffering from it at the moment.
Other than that I am very healthy and have low blood pressure if anything and BMI of 21 and I guess what I am wondering is if aspirin can cause any harm if you take it without actually needing to? The midwife had no idea what Graves' disease was and just prescribed it because it came up on her computer saying that anyone with an autoimmune disease should have it...
Any thoughts? x

They don’t believe they would give it you if I could harm the baby. They’ve put me on aspirin from 12 weeks too. It’s a new thing that they give aspirin to pregnant women who meet two of the things on this list they have, for me it was my first pregnancy plus my bmi is high. For you I’m guessing it be your first baby and your autoimmune disease x

Oh no, I completely agree with you - I think I just was worried as my autoimmune disease isn't affecting me at moment and she seemed a bit confused by it all so it made me a bit wary of taking it x

Yeah when my doctors gave it me he wasn’t 100% sure about it all because of it being so new. I looked it up myself when I got home and it’s just help prevent blood clots in the placenta and reduces the chances of miscarriage after 12 weeks x
